What Hacker News says
5 sourcesThe Yellow JS (not sure about the ES6 one) logo was make by Chris Williams for the community and he has put up a repository for the same : https://github.com/voodootikigod/logo.js
As for the legal rights, Quoting: "We are releasing this under a MIT license so you can print it on anything, use it anywhere, and never have to worry about royalties, licenses, and other such things."
In Ask HN: Who owns the legal rights to the yellow ES6- / JS-Logo?Sadly this isn't the first time I've seen that logo (it's actually a modified version of the Java logo that changes the text to "JavaScript" in the same font). Because the quasi official JS logo (black letters "JS" in the bottom right of a yellow square) looks less "logo-ish" than this it's often used by people unfamiliar with the language.
Another terrible fake logo that apparently looks more logo-ish than the real logo is the modified HTML5 logo that typically colours the shield yellow (because HTML is red and CSS is blue) and alters the "5" to the letters "JS" or simply "J" or "S" (or even "6" for ES6).
EDIT: some googling shows this Java-derived logo has been around at least since 2010 though probably even earlier. The official community logo was initially announced at JSConf 2011: https://github.com/voodootikigod/logo.js/
